What else can I do?
The terrible disaster caused more then 40075 inhabitants deaths and countless injured up to18:00 May 20th.The 8-day search-and-rescue efforts have put more strain on peoples nerves.Many Chinese spent the agonizing week following news on TV, on net, or glancing over newspapers and on public transport during rush hours.Even strangers exchanged information on the updated death toll and the latest outcome of rescue missions;cheered for every survival narrowly escaping hell;mourned each new death;and prayed for the strong lives still trapped in the debris.But hope is dimming as time is running out.So many people lost their lives in a flash, so many happy family become destitute and homeless far and near, so many buildings collapsed without any hesitate, the earth cracked, and even worse, it rained while others try to rescue them…I can not image how sad a child will be that she or he turn out to be orphan after this earthquake.Or the old lost all her offspring in this earthquake.people begin to wonder what they can do to help those who are still suffering.What else can I do? has been the question on everyones mind since the deadly quake hit Sichuan province.After all, only a few warm-hearted volunteers could access the front lines of combating disaster considering the complicated conditions and fear of potential calamity.people can be seen everywhere lining up to make donations.In many cities, blood banks have been reported up to saturation;and volunteers wishing to donate blood have to register and wait for to be notified.More and more people are eager to be involved in the rescue and relief work that they are becoming unsatisfied with the disaster-relief efforts made outside of the quake-ravaged areas;and volunteers are descending upon the worst-hit areas in growing numbers.It is pity that there are a lot of disasters in this Olympic year.This year, we, Chinese people, really have suffered a lot.however, we have not been defeated, instead, weve become more united and show great resolution to overcome all kinds of challenges to make our country more thriving and prosperous.When people shout slogans Cheer up, China!, Cheer up, Wenchuan!after a three-minute silent tribute to quake victims, at the Tiananmen Square in central Beijing,I know that the nightmare of the 8 days gone by will fade from the collective Chinese mind with time;and I could see the Chinese longings to rebuild a better future with dauntless perseverance and national esprit de corps!

Strong earthquake hits China
A powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 has hit Chinas southern province of Sichuan, shaking buildings as far away as Beijing, Shanghai and Bangkok.It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties or damage from the tremor which the the US Geological Survey(UGS)earlier put at 7.8.The epicentre of the quake was 93 kilometres north of Chengdu.Wenchuan, which took full force of the quake, has a population of 111,000 people.It is in an ethnic Tibetan area in Aba county which recently saw violent clashes between Tibetans and Chinese authorities.According to some reports there was a second earthquake measuring 3.9 which hit the Beijing district of Tongzhou at roughly the same time.Telephone lines in the affected area are jammed and there are still no reports of casualties.Reports from Thailand say high buildings in Bangkok continued to shake several minutes after the tremors began.We felt continuous shaking for about two or three minutes.All the people in our office are rushing downstairs.Were still feeling slight tremblings, said an office worker in Chengdu.Chinas tallest building, the Jinmao Tower, and other highrise buildings in Shanghais financial district were evacuated after tremors were first felt.people were shouting get out, get out, so we all ran out of our dorm, said a student surnamed Zhang at a university in nearby Chongqing.A spokesman for the China Earthquake Administration said it was still checking the epicentre and scale of the tremor.英语作文 China Wenchuan earthquake

earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earths crust that creates seismic waves（地震波）.Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer（地震检波器）, also known as a seismograph（地震仪）.The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude(里氏量级）, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible 感觉不到的 and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas.Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale（麦加利震级, 麦氏震级）.At the Earths surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement（位移）of the ground.When a large earthquake epicenter（震中）is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a ts
unami（海啸）.The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves.Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture（破裂, 裂开）of geological faults（断层）, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.An earthquakes point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter.The term epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.来源：http://blog.sina.com.cn/study001

Feature: When tremor hits, femininity shines
By Xinhua Writers Zhan Yan, Rong Jiaojiaopsy
CHENGDU, June 27(Xinhua)--
When William Shakespeare wrote “frailty, thy name is woman,” he may have no idea what women could do at times of extreme adversity.As the 8.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Sichuan, southwest China, on May 12, it let out not only the devastating power within the earth, but also the incredible strength inside women.Though they have suffered both at the quake zone and on the home front, women in Sichuan have helped inspire and give hope to those around them with their strength and love.IN THE NAME OF THE MOTHER
A two-month-old baby found under the ruins in Longwan Village, Chenjiaba Township, Beichuan County, on May 12, survived because she was shielded by the body of her mother, who died protecting her.The mother's body was in a kneeling position, with the right hand pressed to the ground and the left holding the baby tightly.A thick roof beam lay across her back.The baby was crying in the space formed by her curved body.Two months before, the mother had undergone enormous pain while giving birth.She chose a natural delivery, rather than the less painful Caesarean.“It's for our baby's health,” Huang Lingli told her husband Mu Jianfeng.She fainted several times during the 25-hour delivery.During the labor, her husband repeatedly asked her to have a Caesarean, but she refused: “I won't give up.I want our baby to be as healthy as possible.”
“Marriage and birth-giving, the two most important things in a woman's life.I've done both and good days always follow,” the husband recalled her saying.However, she only spent two months with her baby Mu Qianqi.In the eyes of her husband, the woman seemed to have boundless energy.She was busy all day, caring for the baby, cooking, working the farmland and tending other family members.The husband worked in Shanghai, thousands of miles away, earning money for the family.“Our daughter laughed in her sleep and woke up giggling,” said her last text message to her husband.The husband said he would keep this message in his phone for the rest of his life, and would show it to the daughter when she is old enough to understand
THE BELATED MESSAGE OF ROMANCE
Li Diyan never expected her husband to carry her photo every day, because after two decades of marriage, she knew he was just not the romantic type.“I thought he knew nothing about romance.He never told me 'I love you' in all those years,” Li says.When she found out how wrong she was, it was too late.One month before his scheduled retirement, Colonel Qiu Guanghua was killed in action--his helicopter crashed while carrying a dozen trapped and injured villagers from the remote mountains.Collecting his belongings, rescuers found a yellowing photo of his wife in his breast pocket.Before the earthquake, the couple were planning how to spend their retirement.“Touring around Shanghai, Hangzhou....We had done a schedule,” Li says.The helicopter disappeared in bad weather in the cloudy mountains.It was found after a 10-day search.When he was missing, she had firmly believed he was alive.On the previous flight, Qiu survived a mishap when he was carrying about 20 injured people from Maoxian County, his home area.The engine overheated, but he managed a forced landing.He had 5,800 hours of flying time.She believed the same thing had happened this time.It was his 64th flight in the 17 days after the quake.Struggling between hope and despair, she often woke in the middle of the night when she heard a noise and asked, “Is that you? Guanghua?”
They lived near the airport.She had to get up early and ride her bicycle for two hours to work.He asked to move, but she refused.“It is near your workplace and convenient for you,” she told her husband.She is still proud of him, the boy from a backwater village who became a pilot.He volunteered for the rescue team although he could have been excused so close to his retirement.“They are suffering.I can't sit watching.I want to do my part,” he told his wife.She assured him she would take care of the family and look for his missing father and mother.She finally contacted them and brought them medicine, foods and a power-generator.Each time her husband left, she worried.“It was his familiar 'Hi' on phone after every flight that made me feel safe at heart,” Li says.But this time, the call never came.She has set up a memorial hall at their home.She pours two cups of liquor before his picture every night, toying with her jade necklace pendant.It was a token of betrothal from him.Another hung round his neck.The Fearless Quake Heroine Fears Night
She is strong and brave during the day, but in the darkness of night, Jiang Min is painful.(1)Jiang is a policewoman from Pengzhou, a city destroyed by the May 12th earthquake.Ten of Jiang’s relatives died in the earthquake, including her mother and two-year-old daughter.Jiang did not leave her post(岗位)as more and more displaced(使背井离乡)people came to Pengzhou seeking help.It was up to police, like her , to find shelter and food.In the weeks following the earthquake, Jiang worked non-stop at temporary shelters.She said she barely slept.(2)Regarded by millions of Chinese as a national heroine, Jiang said she was still struggling with
nightmares(噩梦)from that day.Work distracts her grief.“ I don’t like night”, she said.“I don’t know how I struggled through those days.My heart ached whenever I thought of my daughter and my mother… I didn’t even know where they were,” said she, fighting back tears.(3)Born in 1980 , Jiang led a quiet life before the earthquake, taking a walk with friends, going shopping and drinking tea were her favorite activities.The earthquake changed everything.''Life was carefree then,''she said.The earthquake changed everything.“ The most relaxed moment I have now is when I gather and chat with female workmates,” said Jiang, who was in Beijing for the Tenth National Women’s Congress.“We sometimes cried and we felt better after that.”In order to fight against stress,Jiang attended psychological counseling on occasion.She said talking to psychologists was helpful.''But you still have to rely onn yourself to get over the psychological stress.otherwise on matter what the experts say,it just won't work on you,''Jiang said
A DAUGHTER'S MEMORY AND WISH
“Mum, you gave me life, but I am sorry I can't sustain yours.How I wish I could be your mother if there were afterlife, then I could take better care of you,” wrote Li Jia, 26, on the blog dedicated to her mother, who died in the earthquake.Li Jia, an art editor of an advertising company in Chengdu, was having on-line chat with her mother, who
worked in Beichuan County, when the tremor struck.Her mother went suddenly off-line and couldn't be reached on her mobile.Finally, word came that her mother's workplace was flattened during the quake and her body couldn't be found.Li Jia couldn't believe that her meeting with Mum on May1 when they danced together to celebrate the Labor Day was their last.Memories haunted Li Jia and she decided to open a blog on May 26 for her mother.She wrote that she met her Mum every day in her dreams and hoped to see her often in this way.She confessed her regret at not saying “I love you” due to her shyness.She promised to her mother that she would be strong and happy.“Through the blog, I felt relieved.It is also a way to talk to myself to gain strength to move on,” said Li Jia, adding that her mother's biggest wish was to see her daughter healthy and happy.When Li Jia arrived in Beichuan County on June 21 to see her once cozy home in ruins, she couldn't help weeping silently.But she soon regained self-control.“Mum, I know you are watching me, so I will cry no more.Your love will be lifelong and you will always be there.”(Zhang Yanping, Zhu Yu and Bai Ruixue contributed to the story.)
第四篇：四川汶川地震演讲稿
各位**的朋友们：
大家好！我是来自**仪表公司的***，我演讲的题目是《责任重于泰山》。
5月12日大家都知道发生了什么，虽然感觉不明显，但也心有余悸，可能好多人都不记得30年前，也就是1976年7月28日凌晨3时49分56秒，河北省唐山市发生强烈地震，这是中国历史上、也是400多年来世界地震
史中最悲惨的一次，这次地震破坏范围超过3万平方公里，有感范围波及全国14个省、市、自治区，相当于国土面积的一半，这次地震共造成人员死亡24.2万余人，重伤16.4万余人，轻伤者不计其数。但大家知道那次的震级吗？是7.8级。
在12号的下午2：28分四川汶川发生的地震也是7.8级，从已知的报道看死亡人数已达1.2万人，但还有6万人生死不明，据现场直升机发回的报道，汶川县城现在已经成为废墟，超过了48小时，生还的希望渺茫，空中救援部队的一个连已经冒着雷阵雨空降，150名解放军战士已经牺牲4名。温总理在都江堰的临时帐篷中日以继夜的指挥救援工作，每到一个现场他总是亲自向被埋的幸存者喊话，鼓励他们一定要坚持，见到遇难者的遗体年过花甲的总理哭得不成样子，那场面真得让人揪心。但他们都有一个信念，那就是让所有人都平安脱险，这是一种什么精神，这是对国家对人民高度负责的精神。
我真想说，老天爷，我愿意放弃几十年的寿命去换取那些被埋人员生的希望。
对于现在我们这些安全的人，仅仅是应该庆幸吗？还是继续去享受我们的快乐时光？我们该反省了，我们该有压力了，我们该承担更多的责任了。
我们的目标是什么？成为国内一流的电力装备制造商和一流的电力装备系统集成商，到2012年我们的销售收入要达到150个亿，利润要达到15个亿。我们如何做到？培养自觉地把份内的事做好的态度。但如何做才能真正提高责任心并看到效果呢，我觉得每天早到1分钟，每天晚走1分钟，每天多做1件事，每天帮别人多做1件事，每天都对别人说1句礼貌用语，如果我们每个人都坚持这样做，我们不仅能养成良好的工作习惯，并能创造出和谐的工作氛围和无缝沟通的合作渠道，到那时我们不仅是一支钢铁团队，更能创造比现在多十倍的经济价值；但有些人说了，让我天天多做事，我是傻子呀！那大家看看这次救援的解放军战士，看看救援的青年志愿者，看看我们的总理，正是有了他们高度负责的态度，才有了被困群众生的希望，正是由于他们，人民群众的生命财产损失才能降到最低。你想拥有更好的前途吗？那就学傻子，做傻子，让我们做得每一件事情都能使自己和别人共同受益，有了这样的心态和行动，我们才能真正实现人生目标
所以提高责任心就是这么简单，重要的是能不能坚持这样的人生价值观，我相信我能行，我更相信在座的每一位同事都能比我做的更好。现在我们的产品不仅销往全国也销售到其他国家，在这时产品所代表的含义便融入了国家情结，我们生产的产品不仅是“**制造”更是“中国制造”，当然，近阶段“中国制造”的威胁论又重新出炉，不幸的是，这次与以前多少还有点安慰感的产品倾销无关，这次它指的不仅是价格低，而且是价值次；这对我们中国企业是一种自尊上的打击，所以说我们今后的道路任重而道远。我们公司的愿景是什么？“成为电能计量产品与系统的卓越供应商”，我们不仅要做终端产品的制造商，更要成为这个行业的系统提供商，我们提供的是最新的技术，最新的理念，和全新的解决方案，我们的终极目标应该是“**创造”“中国创造”，这需要我们每一位员工以高度的责任心共同努力，不断创新，最后，用孙中山先生的一句话结束我的发言，“革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力”！
谢谢大家
